No country in World Cup history has ever had an easier route to the World Cup semi-final than England at Russia 2018. They've had to overcome Tunisia (poor), Panama (pub team), Colombia (no James Rodriguez) and Sweden (ordinary) to get to the last four.

If the SFA move from Hampden to Murrayfield there will be blood on their hands. Staging a Celtic v Rangers game in a 67,000-capacity stadium in Edinburgh would be dangerous, irresponsible and unworkable. Hopefully common sense will prevail.
